Compile the file `script.js` and output it to stdout.
$ 6to5 script.js
Compile the file `script.js` and output it to `script-compiled.js`.
$ 6to5 script.js --out-file script-compiled.js
Compile the file `script.js` and output it to `script-compiled.js` and save a
source map to `script-compiled.js.map`.
$ 6to5 script.js --source-maps --out-file script-compiled.js
Compile the file `script.js` and output it to `script-compiled.js` with a source
map embedded in a comment at the bottom.
$ 6to5 script.js --source-maps-inline --out-file script-compiled.js
Compile the entire `src` directory and output it to the `lib` directory.
$ 6to5 src --out-dir lib
Compile the entire `src` directory and output it to the one concatenated file.
$ 6to5 src --out-file script-compiled.js
Pipe a file in via stdin and output it to `script-compiled.js`
$ 6to5 --out-file script-compiled.js < script.js
### Node
Launch a repl.
$ 6to5-node
Evaluate code.
$ 6to5-node -e "class Test { }"
Compile and run `test.js`.
$ 6to5-node test
## Node
```javascript
var to5 = require("6to5");
var result = to5.transform("code();", options);
result.code;
result.map;
result.ast;
to5.transformFileSync("filename.js", options).code;
to5.transformFile("filename.js", options, function (err, result) {
});
```
#### Options
```javascript
{
// Filename for use in errors etc.
// Default: "unknown"
filename: "filename",
// List of transformers to EXCLUDE.
// Run `6to5 --help` to see a full list of transformers.
blacklist: [],
// List of transformers to ONLY use.
// Run `6to5 --help` to see a full list of transformers.
whitelist: [],
// Module formatter to use
// Run `6to5 --help` to see a full list of module formatters.
// Default: "common"
modules: "common",
// If truthy, adds a `map` property to returned output.
// If set to "inline", a comment with a sourceMappingURL directive is added to
// the bottom of the returned code.
// Default: false
sourceMap: true,
// Set `file` on returned source map.
// Default: `filename` option.
sourceMapName: "filename",
// Set `sources[0]` on returned source map.
// Default: `filename` option.
sourceFileName: "filename",
// Optionally replace all 6to5 helper declarations with a referenece to this
// variable. If set to `true` then the default namespace is used "to5Runtime".
// Default: false
runtime: true
}
```
### Require hook
All subsequent files required by node with the extensions `.es6` and `.js` will
be transformed by 6to5. The polyfill specified in [Polyfill](polyfill.md) is
also required.
```javascript
require("6to5/register");
```
**NOTE:** By default all requires to `node_modules` will be ignored. You can
override this by passing an ignore regex via:
```javascript
require("6to5/register")({
// This will override `node_modules` ignoring - you can alternatively pass
// a regex
ignore: false
});
```
#### Options
```javascript
require("6to5/register")({
// Optional ignore regex - if any filenames **do** match this regex then they
// aren't compiled
ignore: /regex/,
// Optional only regex - if any filenames **don't** match this regex then they
// aren't compiled
only: /my_es6_folder/,
// See options above for usage
whitelist: [],
blacklist: [],
// This will remove the currently hooked extensions of .es6 and .js so you'll
// have to add them back if you want them to be used again.
extensions: [".js", ".es6"]
});
```
